moliwe cichlid fry

[ronalicious]

i have a pair of moliwe cichlid that spawned about a month ago, it looks like a fair number of the fry are going to survive, there are about a dozen give or take. right now they're about a centimeter long and appear to be doing fine. mr. and mrs. are taking good care of them and keep the other fish at bay while they promenade around the take scavenging.

i'm looking for advice on what steps to take next to keep my fry healthy and growing, and general spawning advice for cichlids and moliwes in particular.

thanks.

Are you referring to Pelvicachromis taeniatus moliwe?

yep, those are the ones.

i guess i should also add, it's a 55gal tank with 4 small rainbowfish, 3 zebra loaches, 10 zebra danios, 1 pleco, and 1 siamese algae eater (still small tho). everything's pretty normal and healthy.
